the mentally ill are the poor in spirit.

we keep them as slaves.

I have been one among them throughout my adult life.

I have seen the suffering.

I have seen the revolving door.

the labeling and the routine anti-psychotic medication.

the routine violation of the right to dignity and respect.

I used to say things get processed on psych wards, societal issues, as if it was a good thing. But it’s not good how it happens.

I went for food and shelter when I was almost homeless in winter, and then I was stuck for life; the the revolving door. It’s been 40 years. I am retiring.

But I hold so many people in my heart.
